Trump haters have been manipulating most of the statistical data for America since they came into power in 2020! Especially, the job statistics! Almost every month they have been downgrading the job growth downwards... QUIETLY!
And the liberal media NEVER reports these downgrades... but keeps pushing the narrative that job growth is great!

You guys really don't understand how anything works do you?

These numbers are estimates from the states that get updated as information comes in from those states, and it has -always- worked this way.

The same thing happened under Trump in 2019 when half a million estimated jobs disappeared, and it happened under Obama in 2009 when nearly a million did.

If there are so many more jobs, why are less people doing them? (Top is 2019, bottom is July 2024)

The short answer is, there aren't fewer people doing them - you're just getting erroneous results because you're asking a search engine to answer two questions instead of just looking at the data.

Under Trump we peaked at 159 million jobs in December of 2019, and then again in February of 2020 before dropping to around 133 million in April of 2020. Before he left office, we'd been stuck on a plateau of 150 million jobs for 4 months.

We recovered to the 159 million job mark in August of 2022 and hit our peak employment under Biden in November of 2023 at 162 million workers, and have been around 161 million since.

Most if not all the jobs that actually were created are government sector. Those that weren’t are part time workers which can’t support a family.

You think they've created 15 million new government sector jobs in the past 3.5 years?

Man, I've got this great bridge for sale...

Ummm! Be Honest! You cannot add in the jobs that were lost during COVID... that came back after the Pandemic was over, as "created jobs"... and that is what the biden govt did!
Even if one were to argue that your 15 million jobs came back (not created but places reopened and rehired)... between 30 - 40 million jobs were lost during the pandemic. Where are the remaining 15 - 25 MILLION jobs that never came back?
If you believe in that liberal BS about "created jobs" then I have that bridge you live under to sell you!

We went from 159M down to 133M during the pandemic, and then recovered to around 150M by the time Trump was run out of office.

At that time in January of 2021, we had been stuck at the 150M mark for nearly 5 months.

Then Joe came in, got vaccine distribution online (which Trump had NO plan for even after OWS), and the economy started booming as it usually does when Democrats clean up after Republicans (see 1990s, 2010s, 2020s).

Between the huge number of small businesses that failed under Trump, and the loss of nearly a million Americans to his inept bungling of the pandemic, there was no guarantee those jobs would ever 'come back', because both the workers and the companies they worked for were gone.

That does not explain most, if any, of your claims. And we know that they have been proclaiming great numbers every month... and then quietly reducing those numbers the next month!
The only way we will know if the numbers being claimed are correct will be a forensic examination when they are out of power next year.
Americans are certainly NOT experiencing the great job growth that the biden admin is claiming! Their number one worry, by far, is the economy! This should not be a worry at all... if those job numbers were true!

You can have the last say... I am done with this... and I will not be reading any of your follow-up comments!

Also, the same site that you referenced. Go back to it, there is a chart at the bottom, change it to MAX! You will see in 2019 it was climbing steeply, and then it fell off a cliff with covid! it shows those jobs coming back when the rehiring restarted (not job growth but rehiring)... and then ZERO job growth since May 2023!
